THE BARON Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 2 hours ago, TuscanyTile2 said: Not sure if anyone still listens to it. The only time I ever turn it on is for short trips in the car when running errands. But even for that short amount of time I can't bare to listen, it's so awful. Probably 75% of the time I tune in they're not even talking about sports. This morning, I heard Gio talk to Boomer about shotgunning chili. I immediately turned the radio off. Almost every time I turn on Carton/Roberts it's even worse. Who in the world listens to this crap? And if people aren't listening, what is management doing? I used to really enjoy the station. Now it's a disaster. Agree. There is no pure sports talk there, now. It is often the same with ESPN. It has become a variety show for self indulgent hots like Michael Kay. I cant stand it for even five minutes now. And like many of the other major "mainstream" mass media outlets it has also become a primary conduit for social politics and political agendas. You cant get a rest from it anywhere or anytime unless you turn the power off, shut down your mobile device and do your own talking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about big Mike and his takes but at least you knew he was going to be talking about sports! Yeah. 70% Yankees, 10% Mets, 10% Giants, 5 % Jets (all negative) and 5% college hoops. If you want to call that sports talk, fine with me. I stopped listening in 2009. Hours of discussion on who the Yankees 5th starter should be almost made me drive off the road. The switch to Sirius XM for true sports discussion was the best thing I've done. You can bounce around from Fantasy to NFL to NHL to actual games to Russo etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It's entertainment. You try talking about sports for 5 hours straight. They mix it up. I don't mind it and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work from home, so Im only in the car for short trips, and in those cases, Id like to hear some sports talk when I tune to WFAN, and more often than not, you dont hear that.

JetsFanatic Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I go back and forth between FAN and 98.7. FAN was more balanced with the Flores lawsuit coverage. Depending on the topics and shows I decide which one to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfine Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 WFAN went downhill since the old timers left. I like the Rich Eisen and Dan Patrick podcasts, plus there’s are a lot of independent Jet related ones that are really good.

I still listen but Carton changed the face of sports radio from sports talk to sports/talk/entertainment and ratings done lie. I agree there should be more sports and less crap but money talks. I am vexed by people shotgunning chocolate sauce on spaghetti noodles. How do you do that and not choke on the noodles? Getting to the bottom of this sounds like important radio and might save lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally, other than if someone here posted that Francesa was going off on somebody/thing, I have not tuned in WFAN in at least five years. Looking at the current lineup of "talent" makes one wistful for college radio. Me too. NOW, I haven't listened to Howard for more than 2 hours a month and I no longer stream WFAN. I on occasion listen to Maddog on Sirius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you want about big Mike and his takes but at least you knew he was going to be talking about sports! I remember him literally ROASTING Sanchez for lack of leadership. When he ate that hot dog on the sidelines etc. He said Favre, Manning and the like would NEVER be seen doing that. This board tore him a new one. All the Jet for life zombie walkers defending their rookie QB. Mike F was on target. He had the balls to call Norman a choker after 96 Masters, citing dozens of top meltdowns. Got grilled for that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Let's be honest........when Dog left, the FAN started the spiraling that led to the disaster it is now. He was the FAN, not his obese partner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeFan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I loved Mike and Dog. After Chris left, Mike became unlistenable. He became even more full of himself and constantly interrupted everyone. It was one thing to interrupt dumb callers. It was another thing to act as if he knew more about football than Phil Simms on his Sunday show. i generally enjoy ESPN more because you can hear their top analysts. Loved Mike and Mike when they were a team. The best local guy by far is Brandon Tierney. He is energetic, opinionated, and a huge Jets fan. I wonder how many of you know that John Sterling had a sports talk show on WMCA in the 1960s? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
